Story

I started running in 2022 where my goal was to do a 10K in under an hour, I achieved this in May 22. The obvious next step was a half marathon, I did my first on in August 2022. To date I have managed 11 official events over a half marathon distance with the aim of a twelth by the end of July to complete 12 in 12 months. After managing the half marathon I looked even further and Signed up for the Edinburgh Marathon in May 23 where I set myself the goal of being under 04H30 I missed my goal by 20sec so I am taking it as goal achieved. Since supporting a good friend at the London Marathon I made it my goal to run it. I am delighted to say that this goal will be coming true in 2024 and even more special is the fact that I am running the marathon with the same charity that she did. I am doing the Great North Run which is a half marathon as a warmup with the charity in September 2023 with the aim of achieving a time under 01H50. 

Please help me to reach my goal of helping this amazing charity with as much money as possible. The target I have set myself is just that, a Target, they are there to be broken.
